Good evening, Minimus. I’ve just sent over my draft on the ‘easier to parse’ version of the laws draft, as it stands now. Assuming we’re close to finalizing the latter, I’d just like another set of optics on it. I’m sure I’ve accidentally included spelling errors somewhere.

On another note… Are you considering going to the ball? [ There’s hesitance in his voice, and it has nothing to do with actually asking another mech out. ] …I’m not certain I should.

[Minimus opens the file and gives it a quick look-over.] Confirmed receiving your file. Thank you, Prowl.

[What a phrase he never thought he would say genuinely.]

As one of the officers on board, it is vital that I foster positive relations with other Cybertronians. So yes, I will go. If you prefer to "hold the fort" as they say, I will not see that reflect poorly on you.

[justicemadeblind]

You're very welcome.

[ There's a somewhat staticky chuckle. ] I'm not that worried about how it reflects on me. I'm just not one for parties where I don't know most mechs. Though... Maybe I'll briefly show up if you're attending. Even if I'm not sure I'll be able to construct a mask that lives up to the theme.

[legalcy]

You can copy one from a reference book, or ask Mikaela to build one for you. Do you wish for something subtle and traditional?

[Surely Prowl is simply shy about appearing at a large gathering.]

I can coach you through the behavioral expectations at the function.

[justicemadeblind]

...I think I would want one based off a raven. Like we based the Decepticon symbol off of one. Though I'd worry about seeing out of it.

[ More just kind of introverted. That, and... He worries the other Prowl will be there. But if Minimus is going to attend, maybe it won't be so bad. ]

That would be appreciated, thank you. Do you know if we're expected to find someone to go with?

[legalcy]

That is an excellent choice.

[Prowl is smart enough to figure out the logistics of the mask with Mikaela. Minimus reorganizes his papers and prepares to end the call--]

I don't believe so. If this is a proper ball, we should be given dance cards to claim a partner for the music. However, I suppose there is a sort of celebration given to those that show up as couples.

[justicemadeblind]

You're taking one of the dates you had from your little blind rotation that Riptide set up, I imagine.

[ Hmm. He has no idea if he should take someone- Or who. Minimus? But he's definitely taken. ]

[legalcy]

Oh, that? Nothing came from it.

[There's a small chuckle at this joke of a blind date party.]

I did get to make new friends from those conversations.

[justicemadeblind]

Oh. Apologies for assuming.

[ He considers for a moment. ]

If you don't mind taking a friend, we could go together. Though I'll admit my experience in these sort of things amounts to standing at Stormcrow's side at very, very rare functions.

[legalcy]

Hm...

[He's better than Sky-Byte, and he knows how to behave. Minimus has attended balls with kind Decepticons before, and Prowl is one of the more trustworthy mechs on board.]

I would not be opposed to that. We can review what to wear after work. Is that acceptable?

[justicemadeblind]

Of course. And thank you, for accepting. I honestly think I'd end up stood awkwardly in a corner next to Redjay otherwise, so it's nice to be actually... Going with someone other than a superior officer, for once.

I'll see you then, Minimus.
